Destination Salem Pond

For our June hike, we'll explore North Andover's Salem Pond. Far from the beaten path, Salem Pond is situated deep in Harold Parker State Forest, accessible only on foot. One of the forest's 9 man-made ponds, it was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the 1930s.

We'll meet at 1pm from the pavilion parking area on Middleton Rd in North Andover. The pavilion is just a short distance beyond the Berry Pond entrance, when heading east on Middleton Rd. (For GPS, use 614 Middleton Rd North Andover.) Note this is NOT the Berry Pond beach day-use parking area.

Our walks are free and family friendly, and usually last about two hours. Heavy rain cancels. Dogs must be leashed.
